    Which Vintage Integrated Amps Have A + B = PARALLEL CONNECTION?

    I have a pair of 1980s GNP speakers that require the satellites to be connected to "A", and the (passive) woofer box (2 separate L & R woofers) to be connected to "B." I've discovered here on AK, that my old Kennys are A+B = SERIES, so I currently have an old Kenny running the satellites, and...

    Pioneer SA-610 NOS... worth $40 and a short drive??

    Hello all, I've been looking for components to build a secondary system in either the bedroom, or perhaps the garage. I came across a new old stock Pioneer SA-610 about an hour ago. According to the seller, it was bought brand new by his father, but never put in to service. It's still in the...

    A comprehensive list of 100WPC+ @ 8Ω Integrated Amplifiers, 1970-1980

    Hey y'all. I was searching the forums for a list of Integrateds from this era (my favorite) that are 100WPC @ 8ohm or more and noticed the lists I found weren't maintained by the OP so I wanted to make this thread with a more comprehensive list that I will do my best to keep updated. We can't...

So heres the issue I've been having for months now: my left channel is making a weird noise, even if no audio is being played or if I set my volume to 0.

    LF pretty amp with VU meters and plenty of power and good value

    I only have my Pioneer AV-R to drive the B&W N803 at the moment. There's also my EL34 tube amp, but I'd rather not damage that baby, I guess (through using it constantly, I mean). Also, there's a little minime on the way, so the tube amp will likely have to disappear into storage for a couple...

    Custom Terminal Build

    I'm finally addressing an issue that started, round about ten years ago, broken speaker terminals on my Fisher CA-2120 Integrated amplifier. I've been using this as a pre-amp for the Hafler P500 amplifier since the speaker terminals were junk. After the first two, the A and B R+'s broke, I wired...

    Luxman L-5 Mixed Reviews?!

    One of these in amazing condition came up locally and I’m intrigued, as I’m a Luxman fan. However, I’ve read mixed reviews on the sound quality (one reviewer claimed it had less soundstage/detail than an older marantz which boggles my mind). Build quality looks a little below the champagne...

    Can Using the Preamp Section of an Integrated Amplifier Compete with a Preamp?

    Hi all, I fell upon a Luxman Power Amplifier and didn’t have a preamp so I have been using my Luxman L-410 preamp phono out for temporary use with it. Preamplifiers seem scarce in Vancouver is it essential that I find a good matching preamp for competitive sound quality?

    Can dirty or corroded contacts cause channels to drop? NAD C370 help

    I thought about bringing this thread back to life due to Jerry's great advice in there, so let me know if I should post in there as well.

    Vandersteen Treo CTs…. Which integrated?

    Hey all, I fell bass-akwards into a pair of Vandersteen Treo CTs and now have to get an integrated amp that will realize their promise. Even on my Chi Fi 8W tube amp (admittedly upgraded with high end components and tubes) they sound extraordinary, but from what I’ve read they really open up...

    Vincent SV-237 Hybrid Integrated Amp. Thoughts on a matching DAC?

    Just got my first tube amp...the Vincent sv-237. It had a tung-sol 12ax7 on the front and two mismatched 61NP on the rears, I think both Russian but the labels were a bit faded so not sure exactly what the rears are. I read the rears should be matched so I'm thinking of getting these...

    Budget Integrated or Budget Separates

    I've been thinking about upgrading my basic amplification setup but have a limited budget. If I currently have a Yamaha A-S501, which admittedly sounds very good with my DAC and speakers, would I see a dramatic improvement if I were to spend $1000-$1500 on a new integrated or budget separates...

    Modern integrated for vintage KLH6 Speakers?

    I know it bordering on heresy to discuss such things here, but: My brother scarfed my Panasonic SX 650 decades ago, and recently my Dynaco Stereo 150 (which I built in the 70s) finally croaked. I still have a Nakamichi 410 preamp that's kicking and recently i recapped and refinished a vintage...
